The tubes B are so'arijanged'on opposite sides of the boiler that the upwardly-'extending portions of the "tubes are diagonally opposite each other, one near each end of the boiler, but en opposite sides. i

The openings of the tubes near the bottomof the. boilerare-proteoted by small stationary covers,lb, to prevent the stopping-up of the tubes by the elotl1es.
